Nope. I didn't edit the output. That's *exactly* the output I saw, verbatim, from a PowerPC Mac running Jessie. I was logged in via ssh to the machine from another in the same room. I copy-and-pasted from the ssh window to the mail window. No editing occurred. And this >>> root@dillserver:~# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration >>> update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; >>> falling back to defaults >>> update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; >>> falling back to defaults is *exactly* the output i saw on the same machine a few seconds later. I was expecting to see questions about keyboard configuration, including one about ctrl-alt-backspace, but they did not appear. Once again: No editing occurred except for copy-and-past. Let me repeat that: *None* of the questions I normally expect to see from this command appeared. > I get this when 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' exits. It is > harmless.

I have run "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" before on this machine (several times) with exactly this output. I have *never* seen the expected questions. > >> Should I file a bug report? > > Saying what? Providing what information? > Saying the above. Providing the above information.
